He is protecting his mate, and thus his right to breed. Neutering him will drastically reduce the aggression, and it should completely disappear if you also have the female spayed.

First of all your dog needs to learn some manners. It does not matter if your girl is in heat, your male should not be allowed to growl at people and chase them. He should be corrected for this. I would neuter him for sure though as that may remove one of the things he thinks he is protecting ie. he won't be worrying about his "girlfriend" anymore.

YES!!!!! Both dogs should be done immediately. Too many people, including children are attacked by dogs for this very reason. The lack of hormones in the dogs after neutering/spaying will eliminate the natural agressive/protective reaction to them. DON'T DELAY!

If they are over 6 months old, then they can be fixed. Unless you are showing these dogs (or plan on it) or they are AMAZING examples of the breed (as judged by a doxie specialist/show judge), they should not be bred. Make an appointment and get them fixed ASAP.

Well the reason why is because he wants to protect her by growling. If you do get him fixed it might stop the growling and angerness. Hope my advice works.

Get BOTH fixed asap. His aggression is entirely due to her being in heat, and his agression could get worse so youre seriously risking people health and risking both your dogs health by not having them fixed anyway.

Yes, get her spayed and him neutered. If this only happens when she is in heat, that should put a stop to it. It's also better for their long-term health and will prevent any unwanted litters.

we had a German short hair male and a English setter female neither were fixed when she came into heat he chased people down the street who were riding bikes and a guy on his lawn mower and attacked me and the cops. we had to put them in a pen together, he was only being protective. like in the wild males fight for the females.

You need to have both of them fixed and yes, it will stop! He's fighting for his "right" to breed.
